Kurt Busch crew chief Tony Gibson not in Texas – Nascar

SHR said through its official Twitter account that Gibson, 51, will stay home in North Carolina to care for his wife, who is dealing with an unspecified illness. The team indicated that Gibson planned to rejoin the No. 41 team in time for Saturday’s Duck Commander 500 (7:30 p.m. ET, FOX, PRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio), the seventh NASCAR Sprint Cup race of the season.

Johnny Klausmeier is serving as interim crew chief in Gibson’s absence, according to the team.
